1) Tragedy - Vengeance
I listen to this song about 500 times a day. I listen to this CD when I am going to bed, because it is good.
2) The Beat Farmers - Selfish Heart & Never Going Back
It is a well known fact that I listen to my favorite songs off of "Tales of the New West" almost every day. Its really disappointing that I dont like most of their other songs or records...
Selfish Heart is one of the most perfect rock n roll songs ever. If they could have kicked out the jams like this all the time.. well, it'd rule. And Never Going back, I just realized last week, has THE BEST lead guitar.
3) The Breeders - Invisible Man
A record store was going out of business, so I stocked up on all kinds of stuff that I was into when I was in middle school. Do You Love me Now is also very rad.
4) Turbonegro - Denim Demon
I got so burned out on Turbonegro by all the Johhny-Come-Latelies... I'm not a snob about new people liking stuff, but everyone in town is really annoying about it. So they go out and have their soirees, I stay home and listen to Ass Cobra on repeat on my headphones.
5) Joe Jackson - Throw It Away
Man, there are some songs I really like, and when I mention it to people, they think of every other bad song by the artist. Trust me, this song rocks, no lie. My band would play it.
6) Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran
Something about this song really gives me this eerie feeling. I think I associate it with some night where I was doing a lot of drugs and creepy things, and it was somewhere in the background. if I was in a band I'd cover this song, but change the guitar sound and get rid of the spacey effects
7) Peter Schilling - Major Tom (coming home)
I have this on a 45 and its fun to sing, because of the line "earth below us" having six notes in it.
8) The Muffs - I need you
This song has this really messy awesome 60s rock thing going on, plus Kim screams a lot... but once again, its an anomoly for the band. Its good, I swear
9) X - Johnny Hit and Run Pauline
More good guitars! I wish I could play guitar, that'd rule.
10) Tori Amos - Over It
One thing I could play was piano. This is a great song because it doesnt have any of her annoying vocals and terrible lyrics. This song is just amazingly written... I couldn't imagine writing anything like this - the left and right hands sound terrible apart - it has no repeated melody. I was so good at playing this song.
11) The Slickee Boys - You've Got What It Takes
This is a band that my mom liked a lot. They're totally 80s.. totally stuck in the 80s. I've been listening to two of their records that I burned on CD, and thinking how cool and profitable it would be to start a band that sounded cheesy like this, and cash in on the 80s craze. it'd rule. I can't really describe them they have some weird surf parts and then a lot of 80s sounding effect pedals and these power ballad guitar parts
12) Bauhaus - Slice of Life
13) The Seldom Scene & Jonathan Edwards - Blue Ridge
I really like singing this song. This is one of the only bluegrass songs I really like, I think. Especially to sing. But I really only like the first few minutes of it, and then it goes into an instrumental with a dobro and stuff.
I hate harmonicas, saxiphones, dobros, awful lyrics, certain vocal styles... I have this list of things that can usually pinpoint what I dont like about a song. Theres so many bands I only like a few songs by, and so many songs I will listen to and block out all instruments but the one whose part I like.
